Rev. Dr Kris Sonek OP is a lecturer at Catholic Theological College and Head of the Department of Biblical Studies. He lectures on the Pentateuch, Classical Hebrew, and Scripture. He is chaplain of St Christopher's German Catholic Centre in Camberwell.

His current academic interests are in the reception of the Abraham narratives in Jewish and Christian commentaries in Late Antiquity. More specifically, he is looking at the reception history of the Abraham narratives in Genesis Rabbah and in the works of John Chrysostom. He intends to show that the reception history of Genesis 12-25 becomes a window into past cultures and societies and that it helps understand the parting of the ways between Judaism and Christianity.
